Why can't humans do it too?

"...No, I want to rest for a bit first," Su Er waved his hand and leaned against the wall behind him. This guy has way too much energy. "You go ahead and give it a try, good luck!"

"I see... That's true, people—cough! Anyway, it's inevitable to lack physical strength!" Maou Sadao nodded understandingly, seemingly having come up with some reason for Su'er's situation. He then pulled out an old-fashioned mobile phone from his pocket. "Hmm, what's that saying again? Want to exchange contact information? If you find a job later, I can ask around for you, okay?"

It wasn't that Sadao knew nothing about Sull; he also knew this man who, like himself, had repeatedly failed in his job search. Feeling empathetic, he couldn't help but want to lend a hand... even though he himself was currently unemployed.

"Ah, then I'll say thank you in advance, haha," he said, laughing as he spoke. But it wasn't a malicious laugh; Suer was simply happy because of the man's simplicity and kindness.

People always yearn for a better life.

Should I continue looking for a job?

As Suer watched Maou Sadao's figure disappear into the crowd, Shinko casually asked...

“Of course,” Suer answered without hesitation. “The word ‘admitting defeat’ doesn’t exist in my dictionary…not even when facing the God of War.”

He doesn't care how much money he earns, he's determined to have a stable job!

Recognize the difficulties ahead, then rack your brains and do your best to overcome them. The moment you overcome these difficulties, you will reap indescribable joy and satisfaction.

For some reason, Sue suddenly felt that she could understand Jibril a little better.

"Okay~, one new burger, one medium fries, one medium Coke, do you need anything else?" Suer said with a smile as she nimbly tapped her fingers on the order screen and watched the receipt being printed out.

"And... a smile?"

A shy voice, a shy expression.

So shy that she couldn't even finish her sentence, the woman in front of the counter gripped her hat tightly and pulled it down so that the brim completely covered her eyes. As her legs rubbed together, her body twisted into a Venus-like pose, except she had two extra arms.

(* ￣︶￣)

"Okay, here's the smile you requested... Anything else you need?"

"Hmm~~~~, that's all~, thank you very much!"

This is decadent music! It's decadent music!

And another thing! Your eyes are completely covered by your hat! How did you see my smile?! Psychic powers?! Or X-ray vision?!

No complaining allowed.

"Okay, please wait here on your right to pick up your food. Thank you very much for your patronage."

On the surface, Sue remained calm and composed, as if she hadn't heard the strange noise, and continued to smile as she guided the customers in front of her.

A long queue had formed behind this customer with the strange request, and 99 percent of the people in the queue were women. Compared to the queue in front of Sue, the queue in front of Sadao Mao standing next to him was less than a third of the way there and was almost entirely men.

Even though he was mentally expressionless, Suer still wore a standard business smile on his face.

"Next one~, what would you like to eat? Would you like to try our new burger?"

Words spoken in unison.

For those working in the food service industry, the busiest times are actually breakfast, lunch, and dinner. When most people are at work or school, it is their most leisurely time. Even though they still need to prepare ingredients, clean, and greet a few scattered customers, it is much easier than the busiest time.

Suer has adapted to this working life. It has to be said that after shedding the most basic physiological needs, when work becomes a hobby or a game, even the work itself becomes interesting... if you ignore those inexplicable smiling requirements.

He didn't know when or from whom it started, but by the time Su Er realized it, it had already become a situation where customers would often ask for a smile after placing their orders with him, and most of these customers were women.

According to other employees, the word has spread that there is a very handsome guy at this McDonald's in a large area of ​​the neighborhood who can buy a smile from you. People from other neighborhoods are even coming here specifically to see him, making the store much busier than usual.

Sue became a McDonald's hero.

Chapter Ninety-Eight: McDonald's New Employee Makes His Debut!

Xin Ke wasn't jealous. She could sense Su Er's emotions anytime, anywhere, and knew better than anyone that Su Er's only emotion in front of those women queuing up to buy a smile could only be described as tingling.

So rather than being jealous over such trivial matters, Xin Ke laughed heartily at Su Er's awkward expression as he had to maintain a smile because of those people's embarrassing requests, and she never got tired of watching it.

"Take a break, Sue," Sadao Maou said, handing her a water glass. "Thanks to you, our performance has improved a lot."

"Otherwise, if sales drop, the store manager gets incredibly angry—it's terrifying!!"

The dark-haired, energetic young man even sneakily approached Suer's ear, covering his lips with one hand and whispering. To emphasize his words, Maou Sadao even drew out a certain syllable, while his other free finger danced like a noodle.

Without a doubt, Sadao Mao's furtive behavior was precisely to avoid the shopkeeper he described as terrifying. Even though he and Sue were the only two people at the counter, he couldn't let his guard down, as if the shopkeeper might pop out of the sink at any moment.

Or is it that hair will flow out when the tap is turned on?

Very scary.

However, Sue could understand Sadao Mao's fear at this moment.

"Don't panic. Anyway, the turnover hasn't decreased. Why are you acting so flustered?" After pressing Maou Sadao's shoulders to force the young man to straighten his chest, Sue took a sip of water and said, "If we're really talking about it, we're McDonald's heroes now."

“But actually, most of the customers were attracted by you. I can hardly be considered a hero,” Sadao Mao said with a wry smile after hearing Suer’s words.

"Didn't you introduce me here? Although I've thanked you before, I still have to thank you for giving me a hand back then... Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been ridiculed by some woman for even longer," Suer sighed.

Yes, the job that Sue is currently doing was introduced to him by Sadao Maou. On the afternoon the two met, after being given a pep talk by Sue, Maou set off on his job search again. Neither Sue nor Sue expected that he would actually be hired by McDonald's.

Immediately afterwards, the honest and simple Sadao Mao kept his promise to Sue, and just like the first time they talked on the phone, he excitedly contacted Sue and asked him to come for an interview as well.

To be honest, Suer originally wanted to be a standard office worker in a suit, tie, leather shoes, and carrying a briefcase. McDonald's employees were not even in his consideration. But... he just couldn't stand Xin Ke's teasing.

Especially since Sadao Maou, a man who had failed dozens of times, had found a job, Shinko's example provided another piece of evidence, which ultimately made him decide to bite the bullet and attend the interview.

Suer came to understand the pain of being a breadwinner.

The interview went smoothly. Su Er had barely stepped through the door with his left foot when he heard the McDonald's manager slam her hand on the table and announce that he was hired, as if Su Er would have run away if she had called later.

In front of that woman, he was not the hunter, but the prey.

Of course, it was a joke. In fact, it wasn't some kind of workplace shady deal or anything like that. In reality, Suer passed the interview in the morning and was given a uniform that afternoon, becoming a McDonald's cashier with great honor.

It was from that time that Suer truly realized a fact—what kind of role a high-value receptionist could play in business growth in the service industry.

Just as Hanekawa Tsubasa once commented, the scar that ran from his right forehead through his eye did not cause any disfigurement to Sull; on the contrary, it added a mysterious charm to him, as if there were endless secrets hidden under that smiling face, waiting for others to explore.

As long as Su Er starts promoting McDonald's new products with a smile, he will basically only get nods and groans from customers, and he will not be rejected at all, so his sales will naturally increase rapidly.

"No, no, no, don't try to comfort me. You really know how to find all sorts of angles to comfort people, don't you?" Maou Sadao said weakly, waving his hand.

After living in the city for a few months, this once simple and honest young man seems to have developed a certain immunity to inspirational quotes.

“What do you mean by comforting? I’m serious,” Suer said with an innocent shrug. “Didn’t all those male customers who were annoyed by me end up lining up with you? Aren’t you happy?”

"...Why should I be happy?"

"you are not happy?"

"Of course not, why should I be happy because all the male customers are lining up for me?"

"what?"

"what?"

Sue and Sadao looked at each other in bewilderment.

Suer understood again—this is loyalty, isn't it?

Loyal people are always admirable.

"I understand, I was wrong about that, I shouldn't have joked about it," Suer said seriously, admitting that he had indeed been a bit tasteless to make such a joke.

He must repent immediately.

"...No, what did you understand? I don't understand anything."

It felt like he'd been playing with the Riddler in Gotham for half a month. Sadao Maou couldn't help but grab his hair. He really didn't understand what Sue was talking about at all, and his confused look even made him seem to be in pain.

But Suer could completely understand... So it was the kind of personality that he didn't want to reveal on the surface?

Okok, he'll help cover it up.

"Hey, you two, stop chatting during work hours!"

"Ah! Yes! Yes!"

Just as Sue and Sadao Mao were talking, the shop manager's office at the end of the corridor was suddenly opened a crack, and a woman wearing a small round hat peeked out and shouted. Sadao Mao looked like a mouse startled by a cat, and the woman closed the door with satisfaction... then suddenly opened it again.

"Sul! Come here for a moment, leave things over there to Zhen'ao."

"Oh? Okay, I'll be right there."

This time there really was nothing else, Suer agreed, watching as his shop manager once again withdrew his head and closed the door tightly again.

Just by turning his head slightly, he saw Sadao Maou shivering wildly in the snow, wearing only his underwear in the dead of winter. The fragmented words coming from his trembling lips left Suer speechless after he deciphered them—this man thought that he and Suer had been caught slacking off at work and were probably going to be called in and punished.

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Suer Rejects the Male Prostitute

The first one is Suer, and the next one is him.

"Are they going to dock our pay? Hey, Sull!" Sadao Maou shouted in a low voice. For this man, docking pay was undoubtedly a punishment comparable to the end of the world.

"Don't overthink it. Besides, they're calling for me, not us. There aren't many customers right now, so it's fine for us to chat," Su Er rolled his eyes, trying to comfort the young man who was so obsessed with his salary. Suddenly, another possibility occurred to him, "Maybe they're asking me to get a raise?"

"A raise?! A raise?!" Sadao Maou exclaimed in shock.

This man's limited mind seemed utterly incapable of comprehension such a magnificent sight.

Shaking his head, Su Er ignored the simple-minded guy who was already in shock, and instead knocked on the door and went into the manager's office.
